MapleWorks's location in Canada overcomes the principal inhibitors to onshore Software Outsourcing, which have been identified as operational difficulties and perceived Intellectual
Property (IP) security risks. On the operational side, geographical proximity, common time zones, and common development culture and language all significantly mitigate operational fears
and risks. Canada has the same patent and trademark protection systems as in the U.S., and has the reputation of placing the same degree of respect that is expected in the U.S.
With more than 1,800 technology companies in the area, the Ottawa Tech Region is Canada'ss Silicon Valley, and opportunities for technological innovation are ever-increasing. Ottawa is an
established global technology center, with a strong mix of multinational organizations and small to medium-sized businesses. Ottawa contains the second highest concentration of science
and engineering employment in North America and is one of the world'ss top sites for R's38;D. Ranked as Canada'ss most sustainable city, Ottawa is Canada'ss least expensive city for cost
of living, and is in the Top 20 in the world for quality of life.
MapleWorks Technology is paving the way with dynamic advancements and technologies in the onshore Software Outsourcing, data 's38; Video Convergence, network communications and
Telecommunications industries. For example, MapleWorks has had an opportunity to participate in the development and delivery of some very exciting products, such as the concept of the
Triple Play: cable, high speed internet access, and telephone services all from one provider. Cable and telephone service providers have targeted this market with great emphasis. Through
this Telecommunications triple play approach, service providers try to secure dominance in the network communications market. MapleWorks has been a part of the development of software
that enables the delivery of the Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone services as a part of the triple play, and the Company'ss software enables the service provider to provide the telephone
features that consumers assume are standard: call forwarding, call waiting, 911, etc.
